Playmaking from Dennis Schroder feels key for Brooklyn. Can start a play, finish a play, but the paint touches can open things up. Allows others to play off ball. https://t.co/eJeTiyCubP
Intrigued by the defense from Dennis Schroder for Brooklyn. Full court pressure, DSJ and Claxton able to deny. Shows help and the end up getting a turnover. https://t.co/rtxZg7G53T
Joel Embiid elevates the play of his teammates when he is on the court, says @dmorey. “Folks have to remember that we build a roster with Joel at the center of it, so the rest of the players play better with Joel on the court.” 📸Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images https://t.co/iy6uxbCM0z
